if you are refering to the one in your picture, that is part of the body and is molded lexan. Parma does make another engine that you could use. It was used on the Hemi 2 cars and is a blown hemi engine. you might want to check their website for more info on that one.

HPI always has the better bodies in my opinion. Their decal sets are better also.

Tamiya has better detail and cost a lot more. I still prefer the HPI for the price myself.

I am not the best painter, but I would love to get the Elcomino with engine like that to paint if could get it for cheap. I try not to pay more than 20 for a body. But seems like most TMaxx/Savage bodies are in the 25 - 30 price range.

The HPI Dodge stratus bodies I get for under 19 from tower which is nice. Wish the truck bodies could get for under 19 as well.
